@sdetweil Thanks for the quick response - same issue :(

All I see is the calendar at the bottom

[sdetweil]

@1lolo94 please change this

   position: "",

to

 //    position: "",

“” causes an error
while no position setting is ok

[1lolo94]

@sdetweil YOU ARE AMAZING!

Last two questions and I will leave you alone :)

1. what settings do i need to change to get the calendar to fit the entire bottom of the screen? Is that possible?

2. How can I add a background to this - but have the calendar, weather, etc in front of it? I have seen some others have nature, clouds, etc.

Thanks again!

@1lolo94 background

use one of the modules that displays what you like and use position fullscreen_below, 3d, below is furthest away from the viewer , above is closest to the viewer and default is between them

calendar full width. I don’t know, mm sets margin, all the way around so content is NOT jammed against the edge…

see css/main.css at the top, 60px as I recall

you can override that in custom.css

@sdetweil I was able to get the module - MMM-Wallpaper installed and working great - but depending on the picture, i cannot see the the calendar, events, days, etc. I’m assuming that is in the custom cc settings?

@1lolo94 no cool thing there. some background images will conflict w the foreground…

I want dynamic opposite, but… no such thing

Hello all, just have a couple fine tuning questions for you. Both seem easy but I can’t seem to figure out why it’s not working. FWIW my MM has been running great for months now, finally doing some tweaking.

So I’ve got MMM-Calendarext3 setup to only show 1 calendar, it’s my family google account. The last 2 things I would like to accomplish are having the text for long events scroll with useMarquee: true and then also to have the eventTransformer search for a name in the event title and change the color according to that.

For some reason, I can’t get either of these to work. Config.js below. If I understand correctly, I shouldn’t need to add anything to custom.css correct? With the config file below, my calendar does not load at all, just get blank screen stating please create a config file, if I hash out the transformer stuff then it loads but never scrolls (marquee). Any advice from ya’ll smart folks?

                        if (ev.title.search('Allie') > -1) ev.color = 'blue'
                        return ev
                       }
                       }
                       },

@bobbylx It could be because you aren’t settings the mode to week or month? It seems that the default is week but that would require that you omit the tag altogether rather than explicitly setting it to an empty string.

     return payload

                   eventTransformer: (ev) => {

You’ve missed comma(,) in the end of weatherPayload definition.
